How to Remove the Instrument Panel

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Dashboard

This video explains how to proceed to remove the instrument panel of an Opel Vectra. Locate the two screws positioned just behind the steering wheel; they are covered by two small caps that need to be pried off with a flathead screwdriver. Unscrew the screws, taking care not to damage the plastic. Lift and remove the plastic cover located between the steering wheel and the instrument cluster. Also, remove the cover above the small air vents and the one below the air adjustment knobs. Now you will have access to the clips that allow you to remove the cover of the steering column. Now, using a T10 bit, unscrew the two Torx screws that secure the control panel: slowly pull it out, remembering to disconnect the electrical connections first.
